Aaron Ashby to Serve as Opener for Game 1
Aaron Ashby will serve as the opener for Game 1 of the NLCS versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. Ashby served as the opener for Game 2 of the NLDS against the Chicago Cubs. He gave up three runs in 1.2 innings, but he has been a viable option for the Brewers outside of that. The southpaw posted a 2.16 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and a 76/24 K/BB ratio across 43 appearances with the Brewers in the regular season. The assumption is that the Brewers are using Ashby to face Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman. Quinn Priester figures to pitch a bulk of the innings during Monday's game.
